Re: regex pattern matches

Use XML parser module; one among some is XML::LibXML.

If you insist, update your regex to account for the value between start & end tags ...

use v5.16.0;

my $tag    = 'tag';
my $string = '... <tag>value</tag>';
my $parse  = qr{<$tag>(?<val>.*?)</$tag>}s;

$string =~ $parse
  and say 'found: ', $+{'val'}

"Use an XML parser" Is the correct answer. Which one is up to you. I personally recommend mirod's XML::Twig.	[reply]
